Hi,

I have attached a couple of photos taken on the 24th August 2006 in my garden in Surrey, Southern England, on Crocosmia, in a shady flower border close to a little pond. Once again I failed to record the size but I estimate it being 10 - 12mm in length.

Having gone through the gallery the best guess I can see for it is Opomyza florum is it possible to confirm this or the family please ?


thanks Chas

I think this is O. florum, but the size must be much smaller than 1o-12mm. But you should wait for J. Willem to be absolutely sure.

Imago 3.5-4 mm. See picture:

Thanks both, I must have the size completely wrong, as I said I didn't record it at the time, I had tried to estimate it from the size of the grain running down the leaf in first picture as I still had some of the plant available in the Garden - and got it completely wrong.


Thanks again

Hi Chas,

This is indeed Opomyza florum, and yes, you must have the size wrong ;).

Hi Jan,

Thank you for the confirmation. - I must get into the habit of recording that info at the time I take the photo.
